Inspector James White is asking people to consider what they would do if the couldn’t drive to work.

Because he says that’s what could happen if you’re caught at a checkpoint:

“There will be a large number of checkpoints across the county of Tipperary.

“They are a deterrent, our ideal solution is that we have no detections but if a person wants to take that chance and drive while under the influence of drink and/or drugs, you will be detected if over the limit you will be arrested and if convicted you will face mandatory disqualification depending on the reading you have.

“So I ask people if you happen to be one of those people who could be arrested over the weekend, how will you manage if you don’t have a license?”
